I don’t know if you’ve heard of this one, it’s the new internet suicide game for kids, spread from Russia back in 2015.
It works like this: the kid is contacted by someone who won’t reveal his identity and is addressed to as “curator”, the “curator” picks the kids online by studying if they could be potential victims, and once the contact is made, the curator asks the victim if they want to play, the prize, or better the price, of the game is taking one’s life. That’s how you win.
From that moment on, there are 50 days in which the “curator” will give the kid a daily task, varying from self mutilation, watching horror movies all day, waking up every day at 4.00 am to watch psychedelic and horror videos before school, not talking to anyone, drawing and cutting into one’s arm a whale, and other things.. in the end, on the edge of the human level of endurance, on the 50th day the kids are told to jump off the highest buildings of their town, and if they’ve arrived that far.. chances are they’ll do it.
The most disturbing thing in all this sick plot is that, all that is done must be recorder, and sent to the “curator” to prove him you’re doing your homeworks. The scene of death must be recorded as well, and it’s usually other kids to record the live suicides of their “friends”, and then they upload the videos on their profiles with phrases such has “he won”.
The level of psychological manipulation is here at its peaks, not only are the kids pushed into taking their lives, but the “game” methodology makes it look cool, so that the kids will look at that as something to try…, one of the rules of the game is to never mention it with anyone, except with other “whales”; and that’s even why the parents, and the people around don’t realize what’s happening.
The sick mind behind this is a 22 years old Russian guy, a student of psychology, who’s been incarcerated, and from jail he commented his actions saying “I do not regret it, these kids were the trash of society, I’ve done the cleansing”. But if he’s in jail now, the movement he created is still active and in 2 years spread from Russia to America, all around the internet.
More than160 kids already have committed suicide embracing this sick game. Get informed and watch out… the whale symbology is used because apparently these animals sometimes loose their sea route and, being lost, they commit suicide by reaching the sea shores. It looks like an innocent symbol, but you might get worried if you start seeing it drawn everywhere..
Oh I forgot, it's called "the Blue Whale".

Which makes sense, as females are more likely to want to belong to social groups, and at that age are dealing with the effects of more often than not sexual abuse/assault. I can't even begin to imagine what it is like for young sensitive girls growing up in the current social media culture. It used to be you maybe got bullied at school, had problems at home, but could escape hanging out with your friends and partaking in after school hobbies. Now your bullies are with you 24/7 alongside unrealistic airbrushed standards of beauty, there is no break. All these broken young girls looking for someone that understands what they are feeling and they find it in stuff like this. If I had a daughter I'd let her know how much I loved her every single day, encourage her talents and give her a strong positive foundation, I think that is the only way to combat kids from being interested in things of this nature. The problem seems to be they feel alone in what they are going through.
